Do we really want Tobias "learning" how to play defense in the NBA on Carmelo? I don't want to hear another word about how he's "going to be" a good player. He can't defend to save his life. We were down by two with about 3 left in the half. We put him on Melo, now we're down 10 at half. It sucks! Why can't we play with the urgency of the 4th quarter of Bulls game at ALL TIMES. I don't understand why they can't give that kind of effort all the time.

Seems like a lack of shots available for all those guys. But their defense should be better if they're not shooting. If Jennings and Ellis shoot all the shots. Then the other guys need to play good enough defense to hold the other team under 58 pts at half.

We lose this game the reality is that if not for the miracle win in Chicago, we would have lost every game so far during this tough stretch that we knew would test that 6-2 start. Had a good rally against Miami in there too. So we'll see tonight.

Melo simply doing what Melo does, and a host of three's to boot...very little "D">>>---Do I sense the love for Harris has reached a moment of reflection;clarity needed relative to the 'complete' game. What your seeing is exactly why Skiles is hesitant to play those without the experienceso necessary to perform one's task.---Where's the rhythm and flow?

As I said during the previous game before the comeback, I have had enough of Skiles. I do not think he is a legitimate NBA coach, maybe a good/great college coach. He does not develop players, rotations are awful and his strategies, especially end game strategy are pathetic. If Herb wants to bring a winner here, then tell Hammond to get someone who knows HOW TO DEVELOP A TEAM. It gets tiring watching this streaky brand of ball. We have talent, we need a coach who can make it mesh....

Without Prince we have nothing at SF for defense and basically are startin 2 point guards that play so-so defense. With all these big guys Hammond should have found a way to fix that. Honestly I was amazed we broke camp with like 8 power forwards. 6 of them with unproven ability.
